That Feeling When - a Lyra Young Company production by Natalia Barua with Caitlin Mulgrew and Jo Timmins, devised with and performed by the cast.
You know that feeling the night before your birthday?
And that sensation as you slip into a deep sleep with nowhere to be in the morning?
You know that feeling when you and your friends cannot stop laughing, your face wet with tears?
And how satisfying it is to cut paper with perfectly sharp scissors?
From the softest new gloves in winter to screaming on rollercoasters in summer, 'That Feeling When' is a sensory dance theatre and live music production, which asks how the seasons can be a guide to what feels good in life
There is also a free, interactive audio haunt ‘Hexagone’ event for age 14yrs+ and Q&A taking place on Sat 9 Nov at Platform - at various times before and after ‘That Feeling When’. Read more here - and why not make a day of it?
About Lyra Young Company
Lyra Young Company are a contemporary performance ensemble aged 12+, who work side-by-side with professional artists to make original and dynamic dance theatre productions with live music. Artistic integrity is at the centre of the Company's ambition - we believe in processes and productions that are approached with vigour and vision, blurring the lines between the youth and professional performance sector.
Our works explore diverse ideas and concepts which the young people are supported to interrogate - ideas which ask questions about the world we live in, our experience in it and our visions for the future.
Originally founded by Lyra's Artistic Director, Jo Timmins, the company is currently under the direction of Natalia Barua with Caitlin Mulgrew. (Natalia is currently on maternity leave and Caitlin is leading as Young Company Director (Maternity Cover) in collaboration with Dance Artist, Bridie Gane).
What can audiences expect?
Audiences can expect to be fully immersed within each of the seasons and to be reminded of those feelings and sensations that we can all relate too.
